Have writer's block? Hopefully this resource will help librarians identify publishing and presentation opportunities in library & information science, as well as other related fields. I will include calls for papers, presentations, participation, reviewers, and other relevant notices that I find on the web. If you find anything to be posted, please drop me a note. thanks -- Corey Seeman, University of Michigan(cseeman@umich.edu)

Call for Papers – Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication

Call for Papers – Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly
Communication

The Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication
(ISSN 2162-3309) is a quarterly, peer-reviewed, open-access publication for
original articles, reviews and case studies that analyze or describe the
strategies, partnerships and impact of library-led digital projects, online
publishing and scholarly communication initiatives. View the inaugural issue at
http://jlsc-pub.org/jlsc/

The Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication
provides a focused forum for library practitioners to share ideas, strategies,
research and pragmatic explorations of library-led initiatives related to such
areas as institutional repository and digital collection management, library
publishing/hosting services and authors’ rights advocacy efforts. As
technology, scholarly communication, the economics of publishing, and the roles
of libraries all continue to evolve, the work shared in JLSC informs practices
that strengthen librarianship. The Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly
Communication provides a shared intellectual space for scholarly communication
librarians, institutional repository managers, digital archivists, digital data
managers and related professionals.

The journal welcomes original research and practitioner
experience papers, as well as submissions in alternative formats (e.g. video,
datasets, code).

General topics of interest include:

Scholarly
communication

Open Access

Library as
publisher and library/press partnerships; including, but not limited to:

Grey literature (e.g. conference papers, presentations,
white papers, etc.) may be revised and submitted for review and publication in
JLSC if all copyrights still reside with the submitting author(s). Submissions
that are substantially similar to material already available to the public
(through a peer-reviewed or non-peer-reviewed venue) will not be accepted, but
may be proposed as the focus of a P2 (Post-Peer) Review.
